The final episode of the TBS Friday drama "Takusari Brothers" (Fridays at 10 PM), starring actor Masaki Okada and also featuring Shota Sometani, aired on June 19th, and the last scene garnered a lot of attention.
◇The following contains spoilers.
Fumi (Atsuko Sendo) reveals the truth about the incident that happened 31 years ago. After hearing from "Mocchan," or Mogi (Takashi Yamanaka), that Sakutaro (Masato Wada) and the others didn't resist or even cry out, Makoto (Okada) and Minoru (Sometani) deduce that their parents were already dead. They each race against time to uncover the truth and find the real culprit using their own methods.
Eventually, because only his parents were eating yakisoba with vinegar, Minoru suspects poisoning and flies to Germany for a more detailed examination, where he discovers that the poisonous substance digitalis had been mixed in. Meanwhile, Makoto investigates the identity of "Fisherman Koji," who was murdered by Sakutaro after a deal for illegally manufactured guns fell through...
Minoru and Makoto summoned the real culprit. And who should show up but Haruko Ashikaga, also known as "Haru-chan" (played by Haruka Igawa)... The real name of "Fisherman Koji" was Koji Ashikaga. He was Haru-chan's father.
Makoto pointed a gun at Haruko. Gunshots rang out in the harbor, and blood dripped... The story ended with the four family members happily eating yakisoba together, and Makoto and Minoru showing smiles they had never shown before.
Comments on social media include: "Even though it was a dream, the scene of the four family members eating yakisoba almost made me cry," "The yakisoba with lots of vinegar that the family ate together was great," "It was the first time I'd seen Makoto and Minoru looking so happy and joyful," "What a beautiful and sad scene," "The scene of the brothers and parents eating yakisoba together is just unfair," and "I couldn't watch the scene of the four family members gathered around the dinner table without shedding tears."
